In the documentary, Former US Vice President Al Gore addressed the threats of Global Warming and Climate Change. He revealed several studies about the sudden increase of Carbon Dioxide emissions and the temperature. He emphasised the possible effects of the warming of the Earth. The collapse of ice sheets in the north is one of the major products of this. Based also on the research that Mr. Gore showed in his slideshow, the United States plays a huge role on destroying our atmosphere. The US is the top Carbon Dioxide emission contributor in the world.

Following what he said, It is us, as individuals, who caused everything but nothing is ever late. We could definitely reduce and delay the future effects and sequences of this tragic situation that our home planet is facing. We as humans and stewards should take responsibility of the Earth. It is true that anyone can contribute to the advocacy of taking care of the Earth but believe me or not, there are quite a number of people who can take it to a whole new level.

Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers have the capacity to not just protect the Earth but prevent and stop Global Warming. It is their job to study weather and climate and use this information to enhance mainly crop production which brings humankind enough food supply but they do not simply do it for agricultural purposes. ABEngineers develop systems that further the study of changes in climate and temperature which enables researchers to create techniques to address climate related problems. They usually do weather forecasting which helps everyone on preventing bad catastrophic effects. By forecasting, they provide the world information. This little information could change our lives forever. Imagine if none of them existed, how and when should we prepare for Global Warming consequences? They are immensely helpful on preventing disasters....

The Philippines has been considered as a highly vulnerable to current (natural disasters), as well as future climate-related risks due to its geographical location and physical characteristics. It lies along the Western Pacific Basin (a generator of climatic conditions such as monsoons, thunderstorms, Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, typhoons, among others) making it a path of an average of 20 tropical cyclones annually, nine of which makes a landfall.
Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time. The term, however, sometimes used to refer specifically to climate change caused by human activity, as opposed to changes in climate that may have resulted as part of Earth's natural processes. The term climate change, hence, has become synonymous with global warming.
Any scientist will acknowledge that earth’s climate has always been changing. Increasing emissions into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (such as methane) have created the so-called “greenhouse effect,” leading to overall global warming. The intensity of solar radiation that correlates positively with global warming, provides alternative view to the carbon dioxide-greenhouse interpretation. Sea levels will rise by several meters by the end of the century, frequent violent storms will increase and more prolonged periods of drought will occur.

It fuelled the industrial revolution, and it still generates half of the electricity in the U.S. Recent increases in electricity demand have led utilities across the nation to propose 150 new coal plants, which would commit the U.S. to coal generation as its dominant source of electricity for the next half century. Coal and utility corporations are among the largest and most politically influential in the U.S. Their obligations to shareholders lead them to deploy a massive network of public and political influence in support of policy decisions that support shareholder value, enhance profits and preserve their dominance in the electricity generation sector. These policies are not necessarily the best choices in terms of public health, environmental protection, Global Warming mitigation, or delivering the most affordable electricity over the long run.
It can be challenging, wading through the sometimes conflicting information on global warming available in the media. If you are not entirely convinced that global warming is real, that human activities play a significant role, or that the consequences of not taking action now to address the issue could lead to extremely dire consequences, you are not alone. In fact, it’s by design.

...The documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and also a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming before, probably back in grade school but I knew a little about it or I only knew the meaning of the term global warming. The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist-geek would understand. Most likely, that would be the reason why it won so many awards.
The documentary showed the basic process of global warming which is the greenhouse gases are trapping the sun's heat in the earth's atmosphere which makes the earth warm. The greenhouse gases are caused by producing too much CO2. When Al Gore compared the old and new photos of the same place, the difference was very obvious. I can clearly see that the glaciers are starting to melt. Al Gore also showed graphs and charts showing that every year the production of CO2 is getting higher also earth's temperature is getting warmer.
Other nations are trying to do something about global warming. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol. The Kyoto Protocol is an amendment to the international treaty on climate change, assigning mandatory emission limitations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the signatory...

...An Inconvenient Truth ReactionPaper
The award winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore is an eye opener and somehow it is a wake up call for me. I have heard about global warming way back high school and heard it often when I entered college. I knew the meaning of the term global warming and that was it. I knew a little about it, what causes global warming and how fatal are its effects to Earth. And honestly, I never really cared. I was one of those people who treat it very lightly and after watching An Inconvenient Truth I was caught off guard by the concrete and hard fact. After watching the documentary I knew what Earth’s big time enemy is today, and that is global warming.
The documentary gave me a deeper understanding of what global warming really is and what will be the consequences if we do not do something about it. The way the documentary is presented is very effective. Al Gore defined and described global warming in a way a non-science-loving-environmentalist-geek would understand. He also adds humor to it by presenting some animated slide show in between explanations. Most likely, the simplicity of the presentation and the thorough explanation are the reasons why the documentary received so many awards and appreciation.
It started with the presentation of the basic process of global warming which is the greenhouse gases are trapping the sun’s heat in the earth’s atmosphere which makes the earth warm. The...

We people must take care of what we have, especially our only home, the planet which had the ability to grow and is capable of giving everything in existence, the one and only Earth. Earth’s nature is the most precious gift that God has given us, so in return, we must take good care of it and not ignoring its climate crisis.
Based on the movie, it the facts of the differences of Earth’s topography and nature nowadays compared to the times long ago. The differences of the facts were caused by this intriguing global warming that alarmed all the people in the world. This global warming is the result of the gradual increase of greenhouse gases in the ozone layer, thus trapping the sun’s heat in the earth’s atmosphere. These greenhouse gases result from human activities like fossil fuel burning, and deforestation. By this, we cans see results like the melting of glaciers, permafrost, extreme weather events, species extinctions, changes in nature, and etc. Upon seeing this, it turned out to be a wake-up call for me. It made me cautious about this topic, making me anxious for instant help to our Earth. I hope people will also feel what I feel for this problem. For this is the problem that is the hardest for us because it signifies all existing living things are in danger. It’s good to know what is stated on the movie, that many governments and countries supported the Kyoto Protocol’s aim at reducing...

Al Gore as the host of the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Al Gore explained how the atmosphere works. Sun rays trapped in the earth by the ozone layer which results the earth to become hotter. The increase of Carbon Dioxide is making the ozone layer thicker causing to trap more sun rays. Because of this, there is a big change in temperature and the ices in North Pole are now melting which is very dangerous. Al Gore also shows the possible environment in the future.
“It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely,” said Al Gore. I agree with this. As we can see in our daily life, the temperature is now different from what we used to be. Like, If it is summer, there is no rain, but now, even if it is summer, there still a rain. We really need to do something about this, at least we start at something small, by this it can help the earth in little way and slowly our old environment will be back. All we need to do is to be united on what to do to help our environment.
Al Gore also told about the Ice in Poles. They are slowly melting which result to increase the water in the sea causing to have a flood easily. Nowadays, small amount of rain can result to flood. There is a prediction that in the future, many island or part of many country will be sinking because of heavy flood....

...few more weeks and the pain continued. My mom finally made me go see a doctor and he told me what I didn’t want to hear, that my calf muscle was starting to tear and that I couldn’t run on it for the rest of the year. I was so devastated because I was losing the one thing I was good at and I didn’t know what I was going to do with myself. I didn’t know though that this would lead me to a new passion of mine.
It was during my hiatus from running that I spent a lot of time at home because I couldn’t go out and do a lot. My mom bought me a sketch book and some new pencils and told me this might help my boredom. I thought she was crazy, I didn’t want to sit home and draw, I wanted to be out actually doing things. I was often doodling on my papers, just little drawings that really didn’t mean anything or looks like anything. I was desperate one day though, so I picked up the sketch book and just started to draw, and I was surprised with how much I actually loved to do it, and that I was even good at it. I spent a lot of time after that expressing myself through art, it gave me a new gateway and showed me that I was good at something else. It got me through a depression that for a while I felt like I was going to be stuck in, art showed me the way out.

1. Terraforming Mars
Terraforming is the process of transforming a hostile environment into one suitable for human life. Being that Mars is the most Earth-like planet, it is the best candidate for terraforming.
At the rate that the human population is growing, it is already evident that we are overpopulating earth, and with no signs of the population increase slowing, it is obvious that we are going to need to find new living arrangements. Where are we to find more space? The logical answer it to look to the other planets in our solar system. The limits in choosing a second home are those features that are unchangeable. Since Mars is the only other planet that has a suitable landscape, tilt, and spin to maintain life as we know it on earth, it was really the only option available to us. With this in mind, scientists at NASA have looked into the idea of terraforming of Mars.
Terraforming Mars would basically mean changing the planet into a second earth, so that we could inhabit it without being confined by pressurized, regulated domes. The main things that Mars must have to support life are water, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and suitable temperature. Liquid water is extremely important, being it is the substance in which most biochemical processes of life occur. The nitrogen and carbon dioxide necessary as the building blocks for almost all biomolecules, and are needed to support plant life. We obviously need the...
